London
Today is a bit of a rest day... we are so tired after 20days of traveling, so a sleep-in is well over due. Highlights of the day are:
- Sleep-in
- Michelle's tiki-tour of Croydon (man, can she walk fast! Remember how your Mum used to walk too fast for you as a kid?)
- Craig finding an awesome modeling store... Radio controlled everything; starwars stuff; model cars, bikes, army stuff (imagine Tim the Tool-mans grunting here)... Lyn did well to get me out of there ;)
- Us working out the London public transport system, finding Westminster Cathedral, finding a massive department store (6 levels of extravagance)... But they did terrible coffee!
- Met up with Michelle at her work (a posh hotel next to Buckingham Palace)... And got free-run at the bar - feeling a little under-dressed, we went for the cheaper stuff... Not the NZ$400 bottle of champagne.
- Then off to New Zealand House (the NZ embassy) for a Christchurch earthquake fund-raiser put on by the NZ defense force... In the penthouse 17 floors up. Giving us a fantastic London-by-night view (rumoured to be the best view in town)... A great night out!
